Gary L. Francione Quotes About Eating

• Michael Vick may enjoy watching dogs fight. Someone else may find that repulsive but see nothing wrong with eating an animal who has had a life as full of pain and suffering as the lives of the fighting dogs. It's strange that we regard the latter as morally different from, and superior to, the former.

• It's really not rocket science. If animals are not mere things; if they have moral value, we cannot justify eating, wearing, or using them particularly when we have no better reason than palate pleasure or fashion. If you are eating, wearing, or using animals, then your actions say that you regard them as mere things, despite what your words say.

• No hay ninguna diferencia significativa entre comer carne y comer productos lácteos u otros productos animales. Los animales explotados en la industria láctea viven más que los destinados a la carne, pero son tratados peor durante su vida, y de todos modos acaban en el mismo matadero tras el cual consumimos su carne. Probablemente hay más sufrimiento en un vaso de leche o en un cucurucho de helado que en un filete.

• Así que siempre es preferible discutir el tema del veganismo sin juzgar. Recuerda que para la mayoría de la gente, comer carne o lácteos y utilizar productos animales como el cuero, la lana y la seda, es tan normal como respirar aire o beber agua. Una persona que consuma lácteos o utilice productos animales no es necesariamente ni suele ser lo que un reciente e impopular presidente estadounidense calificó de "malhechor".
